19" front wheel or stick with the 18?

Let's nail down the rear wheel/tire/suspension combinations can rub the inner fender and airbox.

Sounds like these combos will rub:

18" rear wheel and tire with stock dogbone
17" rear with off-road tire and lowering link

Any others?

I haven't seen any rubbing with my stock 17" wheel with Shinko 804/805 (130/80-17) using either the stock or progressive shock, and I've ridden some pretty rough trails.

I actually got the 19 inch as a spare wheel. I even bought a spare 17 inch wheel for the rear. That way I can quickly change from off-road to on-road tires without having to deal with tire irons and all that mess. For the cost it just made sense. Also, the front 19 inch will offer you more off-road tire options than the stock 18.
